Each of these palm-sized helis is just minutes away from being flight-ready, with quality components and features you won’t find in comparable machines. Like flybarless rotor heads, a more efficient design that offers a wider flight envelope, TAGS (Triple Axis Gyro) for effortless hovering and maneuvering, and the dependability of a 2.4GHz radio system. Don’t let the small dimensions of these helis fool you: they can take some abuse and come back for more, and you can fly them both indoors and outside. There’s an electric RTF heli for every taste and skill level. The fixed-pitch head of the Axe 100 FP adds stability; that same stability is also available with super scale looks in the MD-530. Enjoy optimum 3D capability for exciting aerobatics with the collective pitch Axe 100 CP. And for a truly unique flying experience, there’s the 1SQ Quadcopter with 4 independent rotor blades.

1/25 SCALE ROYAL ’66 PONTIAC® GTO® AND FIGURE Real hot rod royalty When GM® issued orders against involvement in auto racing, they sharply undercut their Pontiac line’s market. Fortunately for the muscle car world, Pontiac worked around these restrictions and developed the GTO. Royal Pontiac in Michigan sold hop-up packages that turned GTOs into speed demons capable of going zero to 60 in 4.6 seconds. The Royals were icons of the drag strip, and the mysterious tiger-suited driver of the GeeTO was the most famous of all. This kit features a pre-painted GeeTO Tiger figure, detailed engine and racing decals. RMXS4037

The station wagon’s designers stretched the two-door, four-seat car into a four-door, eight-seat wagon. Gone were the sport-spec performance and six packs, replaced by cargo capacity and diaper bags.

“Now I am become death, the destroyer of worlds.” – J. Robert Oppenheimer In May 1953, the Upshot-Knothole tests proved that the M65 Atomic Cannon could fire a 16 kiloton yield nuclear weapon seven miles (11.3 km). It used the same warhead that Oppenheimer had helped create. The United States constructed twenty of these weapons and deployed them to Europe and Korea as deterrents against a communist invasion. None of the atomic cannons were used in combat; the hostile nations showed good sense by not openly attacking each other. This kit features a crew of seven figures and US Army decals. RMXS7818

Its main armament was devastating to ground targets and the unusual engine placement reduced the P-39’s vulnerability to ground fire.

AMT® 1/537 Scale Star Trek® Klingon® K’tinga Primed for intergalactic battle The Klingon K’tinga became an instant fan favorite when it was introduced in 1979’s “Star Trek: The Motion Picture.” It has subsequently appeared in “Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country,” and each spin-off. Like many of Trek’s best vessels, it was designed by Andrew Probert. The K’tinga resembles the D7 in many ways; the differences lie in the ultradetailed hull, impulse engine configuration and the addition of an aft torpedo launcher and disruptor beam.

Airfix® 1/76 Scale Infantry Tank MkII Matilda It can’t waltz, but it sure can wallop A maximum of 78 mm of armor made the Matilda the most heavily armored tank of early World War II. All that armor also made it painfully slow. As the tank crept along at 6 mph (9 km/h), German shells would ricochet off the armor. Through sheer indestructability, Matildas often turned battles for the British in North Africa. Despite low speed and comparatively-light 40 mm armament, Matildas were the only British tanks to serve throughout the entire war.

Luckily, the KC-135E can haul up to 200,000 lbs (90,718 kg) of fuel. The aging KC-135E refueling tanker fleet hauls the extra gas that warplanes need to get to their targets.

ROUND 2 MODELS

®

AMT is one of the most recognized names in the hobby industry. Their innovative approach to modeling has been a delight to hobbyists everywhere since 1948. AMT kits have set the standard for excellence everywhere. A large and diverse bank of tooling lets AMT offer a broad selections of 1/25 scale models for prominent license-built models from GM®, Ford®, Star Trek®, Chrysler®, Munsters® and Batman® to name a few. One of their most popular kits is Christine, the famously rapacious ’58 Plymouth® Fury, so evil they made a movie about her. AMTS0801

When you want something wild, look to MPC to satisfy your need for exotic subjects. Since 1963 MPC has been manufacturing highly-detailed kits from drag racing and factory stock cars to sci-fi, horror and rocket kits. Many of the popular kits MPC produced years ago are being brought back to delight an entirely new generation. MPC is proud to offer products based on Dark Shadows®, Road Runner®, Dukes of Hazzard® and Spider Man®. The boys would be proud of MPC’s ’69 General Lee Charger®. It’s not just a car; it’s a rip-roarin’ rebel riot!
